>>42246256>The problems dealt with in it aren't children's problems.All of the shit that happened in the episodes were featured in the games, just not with the edge you're praising.
A real adult series would've probably made shit like a detective drama with Looker instead of whatever the hell were his episodes. Don't even get me started on the reporter from the Deoxys vs Rayquaza episode, she didn't have any real personality attached to her, let alone anything memorable.
Also:
>muh AshWhy is it that you people are so traumatized with him? Just because you don't like him or the anime doesn't mean you should become a shit-eater towards the very next thing you see. Because in case you haven't realized it, people can always write shitty characters with different names and circumstances, and not being Ash won't magically make them good. Lack-Two being a prime example of it.
>>42246329Lysandre wasn't bad, just a bit rushed out. Lusamine was fucked up, but definitely deserved worse than what she got in all versions of her.
If you're gonna ask me about cringe-worthy villains in Pokémon, N and Ghetsis come out on top.
